Publisher's note

The nationally known Nutrition Twins present a salt-slashing diet plan built around key foods that help the body excrete salt and burn fat more efficiently while decreasing the risk of stroke, heart disease, and hypertension, featuring menus, meal plans, and simple food swaps. Original. 40,000 first printing.

Salt is rising to the top of the health agenda; every major health agency, including the World Health Organization and the National Academy of Sciences, has recommended drastic reductions in sodium consumption. For years, salt has hid under the radar screen when it came to weight loss: It was believed that salt could cause problems if it was raising blood pressure. Wrong Research shows that high salt diets are associated with more fat cells on the body; what's more, salt causes your fat cells to become denser, so it's harder for you to lose weight. Even worse, many supposed "healthy" foods are high in salt, just waiting to attach themselves to your waist, hips, and thighs.Enter the Nutrition Twins, Lyssie Lakatos, R.D., and Tammy Lakatos Shames, R.D., (registered dietitians and sisters) who have helped hundreds of clients lose weight, eliminate bloating, and tone up for good on their salt-slashing program-with the side benefits of reducing blood pressure and cholesterol levels. Simple and effective, their 4-week diet is built around key lo-so foods: green-light "Anti-bloaters," "Flushers," and "Slimmers,"--foods that keep you slim by helping your body excrete salt and pounds. They shine a light on the red-light "Bloaters," "Pluggers," "Chubbers," and "Flabbers,"--foods that you should avoid because they pack on the pounds. With easy-to-find foods that are full of flavor, they will show you how to swap out salt saboteurs with foods that keep you satisfied and slim. Meals should always include a Carbohydrate Slimmer and a Protein Slimmer, as these are wholesome, minimally processed foods that will keep you satisfied and slim. With two weeks of meal plans and more than fifty delicious low-salt recipes, this is a life-style and figure-friendly way to eat for permanent weight loss and health.
